One of the schools currently has over 550 students (across Primary and Secondary) with broad cultural backgrounds, who speak at least 2 or 3 languages. Technology is used as natural part of learning with a one-to-one laptop program from grade 4 and above, and iPads for younger students.

Through partnership and co-learning with Peking University, a strong Chinese as a second language curriculum is being developed.
This school is located 40 minutes south-west of the CBD of Jakarta. BSD City is one of the most comfortable and expat-friendly areas in Greater Jakarta because it offers a clean, modern, and well-planned environment with far less traffic and congestion than central Jakarta. The neighbourhood has wide roads, green spaces, international schools, quality hospitals, shopping malls, cafés, gyms, and family-friendly entertainment, making daily life very convenient. Housing options range from modern apartments to gated communities with good security, and the area has a strong sense of safety and community. Many multinational companies also operate in or near BSD, making the commute much easier for those working in tech, education, finance, and corporate roles. Overall, BSD offers a balanced lifestyle—urban convenience combined with a quieter, more relaxed suburban feel—which appeals strongly to expats wanting comfort, safety, and a manageable work–life balance.

- Number Of Students:
- 500
- Student Make Up:
- Student body includes children from multiple nationalities, typically over a dozen different countries. Enrollment is several hundred students, which makes it a medium-sized school — not overcrowded, but large enough to offer a full range of programs. Class sizes tend to be moderate (not too large), contributing to a personalized learning environment.
- Regional Info:
- The school is located 40 minutes West of the CBD of Jakarta. BSD City is one of the most expat-friendly, safe, and well-organized areas of Greater Jakarta. Cleaner air, less congestion, and more green areas compared to central Jakarta. Many expats live in BSD due to international schools, modern housing options, shopping centers, parks, and international-standard hospitals. It’s easier for children to have space, outdoor activities, and a more relaxed suburban lifestyle. The community is more suburban — good for quiet family life, less ideal if you want to be near Jakarta’s nightlife or business center.
